Jason Momoa Reportedly Cast in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

The casting on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy continues, with Jason Momoa reportedly winning the role of the green-skinned Drax the Destroyer.

Latino Review, who are having quite a day between this and their Han Solo scoop, says that the Conan and Game of Thrones actor was in London to screen-test for the part on Wednesday. Isaiah Mustafa, Dave Bautista and Brian Patrick reportedly also tested for the role, but according to LR's sources, "Momoa’s screen test went so good that Marvel offered him the part and his reps have now countered, so the negotiations are ongoing."

Of course, this casting has not been confirmed by Marvel, but LR has a solid track record with such scoops, particularly when breaking news regarding the House of Ideas' films.

I like this casting. Momoa has proven that he can play the bad-ass while also bringing a nice touch of pathos to a role (see Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones). And that fits with Drax well. But what do you guys say? Let's talk in the comments!
